A dynamic interplay of layered textures and vibrant color defines this work by Angel Otero, who employs his signature process of peeling dried oil paint skins and collaging them onto canvas. The resulting composition creates a richly dimensional surface where translucent and opaque passages of paint overlap and fold, evoking both the spontaneity of gestural abstraction and the deliberate craft of collage. The work invites the viewer to examine the physicality of paint itself as both medium and subject.
